Title: Improved silica membranes and process of production thereof
Inventor: LU GAOQING PROFESSOR
IPC: B01D71/02
Filed: 2001-06-12
Abstract: A method of producing a weakly branched silica membranes coated onto a substrate using a two-step catalysed hydrolysis sol-gel process. A  tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS)/ethanol solution is formed and placed in an ice bath. An acid/water solution is formed and added to the TEOS/ethanol solution to form a TEOS/ethanol/acid/water solution, which inturn is refluxed. A two-step sol is prepared by adding water and nitric acid to the refluxed TEOS/ethanol/acid/water solution and initiating a two-step sol-gel process.  From the two-step sol a membrane film layer is deposited on a substrate, for use in a number of applications, including selective separation of gasses.

Title: Alternator testing method and system using ripple detection
Inventor: FAEHNRICH RICHARD J
IPC: G01R31/34
Filed: 2001-06-26
Abstract: A method and system for evaluating the operation of an alternator based on a frequency component in the alternator output signal. The method comprises detecting a frequency component of the alternator output signal, comparing the frequency component of the alternator output signal with a threshold frequency, and evaluating the operation of the alternator based on a result of the comparison. If the frequency component of the alternator output signal is lower than the threshold frequency, the alternator is determined as defective.  The frequency component can be obtained by comparing the alternator output signal with an adaptive threshold. The adaptive threshold is generated based on the peak signal level and the valley signal level of the alternator output signal, such as the average of the peak signal level and valley signal level.

Title: Method and device for certification of a transaction
Inventor: ARNASSAND DANIEL
IPC: G06F21/33
Filed: 2002-05-28
Abstract: The problem of real-time neutralising or revoking of a X509-type certificate, belatedly available in a public database (BD) is solved by directly neutralising (35) in a mobile telephone (1) a sub-programme (26) of signature and/or transmission of certificates concerning transactions to be validated. Thus by doing so neutralisation is achieved in the ten minutes following the signalling, or the neutralisation request, whereas it requires 24 to 48 hours in normal administrative circuits (AE, PB).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for granulating thermoplastics that are extruded from nozzles, the latter being provided in a nozzle disc in a substantially circular arrangement. Blades, which rotate about a blade carri er shaft and are held by a blade carrier in an oblique position in relation to the radial direction, sweep over said nozzles. The blade carrier shaft runs through the centre of the circular assembly and a cooling medium is fed to t he nozzle disc and the blades to cool the granulated plastics. The blade carrie r, together with the blade carrier shaft, is located in an essentially circular housing, which extends as far as the nozzle disc and into which a supply of cooling medium flows in a tangential direction, in order to create a circulatory stream in said housing containing the rotating blade carrier. Th e cooling medium rotates in the housing at a speed and in a rotational directi on that essentially correspond to the rotational speed and rotational direction of flow passages in the blade carrier, by means of which the cooling medium is fed to the blades.

Title: Flow-through using an automated main distribution frame
Inventor: TEIXEIRA JOE
IPC: H04Q1/14
Filed: 2004-05-06
Abstract: An AMDF supporting Flow-Through management, allows a telecommunications provider OSS co maximize the automation of provisioning subscribers to services. Accordingly once a subscriber order is entered into the OSS, the remainder of the provisioning process may be automated, where-by the OSS communicates the connect and/or disconnect order to the AMDF EMS, which in turn communications with the AMDF controller and finally the AMDF performs the required cross connect. Upon completion of the cross-connect the AMDF would report the completion to the OSS, in order for the OSS to update its provisioning database. With Flow-Through automation, errors typically introduced due to human error are drastically reduced or may even be eliminated altogether.   The overall time, cost and associated errors to provision a subscriber using an AMDF supposing Flow-Through as compared to today's fully manual method will be significantly lower, leading to a significant increase in subscriber satisfaction. ILECs will also be in a much better position to honor their responsibilities toward the CLECs with respect to providing service in a timely and cost effective manner.
